Massage Therapy for healing.

Hello everyone,

I am passing through a tough time of my life. I’m 50 years old and I have done a disc replacement in 2013 and for last one year I’m suffering from severe back and neck pain. The pain disappears for for a week, and then again comes back. I haven’t done much in the way of treatment so far, and once I went to a physicist and they prescribed me Diclofenac, But it didn't help me. Yesterday I stumbled upon a blog ( http://aesm.ca/benefits-of-massage-t...sports-injury/ ) saying that massage therapy can help in curing such kind of pain and injuries. Is that so? I didn’t try this, but if it is yes, I like to do.

May I suggest that you change your post and publish it in the "Patient Corner" section of the Forum?
Good luck,
Fyzzio

Sad to say that diclofenac doesn't work for many. If you want to get healed, you will have to try out ointments with methylamine/ methyl acetates salts. You can always take a saltwater bath at home or go to beaches once in a while. A physiotherapy will help you go a long way. But please make sure you find a Registered massage therapist (RMT ) in your place. I used to get regular physiotherapy sessions from an RMT at Physiomed when I was staying with my family at Toronto. Though , I have moved to mississauga now , I still make it a point to visit my masseuse.

Cindy is right. Diclofenac doesn't work for many.

It's really true :) massage therapy can easy your pains and injuries because it makes your blood run smoothly.

According to me, physical therapy is more effective when it comes to treating pain or injury. It focuses one body part at a time, providing rehabilitation to improve strength for it to work properly.
